FreedomWorks Supports Rep. Chip Roy’s Request for Recorded Votes on Amendments to H.R. 2740

By Peter Vicenzi

06/12/2019

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to Rep. Chip Roy’s (R-Texas) request for recorded votes on H.R. 2740, the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Legislative Branch, Defense, State, Foreign Operations, and Energy and Water Development Appropriations Act, Jason Pye, FreedomWorks Vice President of Legislative Affairs, commented:

“Article I, Section 5 of the Constitution makes clear that a quorum, consisting of the majority of the chamber, is necessary to conduct business in the House of Representatives. We applaud Rep. Roy for highlighting a real process problem in the House. The House routinely passes legislation and amendments to pending bills when few members are present in the chamber. This may be an inconvenience to some members, who would rather be at a cocktail party or raising money from K Street, but the American people deserve to know where their elected officials stand on all amendments and bills that come to the House floor.”

BY Sarah Anderson

FreedomWorks is proud to honor Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) as the member of the month for June 2019. He serves in the House of Representatives to represent Texas’ 21st Congressional District, which spans to the north and west of Austin, Texas. But in reality, Rep. Roy serves not only to represent his constituents but also to better the lives of all Americans by exposing and fighting against the status quo Washington ways that have put us $22 trillion in debt and left us more burdened by government than our founding fathers ever could have imagined.
